One simple way is to use an aftermarket camera, and pin its signal and shield wires into the cargo camera input positions on the radio connector (if you don’t have the cargo camera option), and use AlfaOBD to enable the cargo camera. Then you can use it’s soft key on the radio to toggle the aftermarket camera on and off.is there a feasible way to add the front camera? I have parksense but it would be nice to have a camera as well. Plug and play would sure be nice. thanks
no I can not. Unlike you I am only 4'5" so it can be very hard to park. I am sure you would not understand tho as you probably have been height advantaged your entire life.....You cannot see forward?

If you already have the cargo camera, then there’s no other analog camera input to use for an extra camera. You would have to put it on a switcher.sorry I have been looking thru the forum but haven't seen this question asked.
I already have a factory cargo camera and backup camera on my 2019 2500. Are there other inputs on the uconnect 8.4 that anyone has been successful in connecting a front aftermarket camera to? Does anyone here know where/how the factory front camera is hooked up? I plan to order AlphaOBD and an OBD module if there is hope. Thanks

Do you just want to add an aftermarket front camera, or the OEM front camera. If you want the OEM front camera, you have to do the full surround view system install-Does anyone know what is needed to added the OEM front camera? I bought the grille for it and would like to add a front camera if I could. I have the 8.4 without the cargo camera.
Thank you!

I did this a while ago and was going to do up a full thread, but I didn't take too many pics of the install, so I didn't think it worth it. However it seems that more and more people are interested, so here's what I have. The parts list provided below is for my exact truck model you will need...hdrams.com
Nope! I abandoned ship. I may eventually take it to a local guy to install. I've seen on his IG that he hooked up a forward facing came on a Ram before.Guess I’ll grab a shovel as well…
@MooneyFWD , did you ever get this to work? I would also like to get a front camera installed on my 8.4” screen. I figured I would do about the same configuration, but I was thinking of using a wireless receiver, maybe something like this so I don’t have to worry about running a wire through to the cab.
